Step-by-Step Instructions
First, gather all your ingredients in one place. This way, I find it easier to combine everything smoothly. In a large mixing bowl, start by adding the puffed rice cereal and the mini pretzels. These create a lovely base for the trail mix with their light crunch and salty goodness. Next, I stir in the dried fruit and nuts, which add goodness and energy to keep little ones fueled.
